Re: Suni Isaac Jones

alberta24 — 2009-11-06 15:50:52Z

I don't think there is a name Suni and the confusion may have arisen over the original handwriting on the 1851 census.If you look carefully the Suni as indexed is Isaac.
He was called Isaac when he married Henrietta in 1846 and in every subsequent census.
He states born Woombridge in 1851 but Dawley after that.
Woombridge I believe was near Wrockwardine.
Henrietta Pitchford baptised 31st December 1827 Dawley Magna
parents Timothy and Mary.(This looks the most likely)
Marriage certificate will give names of both parties.

EVANS family of Oswestry

scorerhome — 2009-11-06 15:45:51Z

Hi - can anyone help with trying to find a marriage between a Robert Evans and his wife Elizabeth, who was also named Evans before her marriage and I believe she was his cousin. They both came from Oswestry, and both were hawkers of ceramic pots. I beleive they married about 1858, probably in Oswestry (though possibly in Montgomery). I did find a possible reference int he GRO for Montgomery in 1861, but both the local office in Welshpool and the GRO say that though there is an ELizabeth and a Robert Evans on the same page, they didn't marry each other.
I would love to track this down for my aunt, who would like to know about her family, and who has been wonderful to me since I recently lost my mother. Any help would be most welcome. Thank you.

Re: BURGESS of Highley

I have 1901 census of George W Burgess 24y Born Warwickshire Birmingham, coal miner driver, with wife Eliza 22y born Chelmarsh with one boarder and 4 visitors.
Address New England, Highley. No children - but I note Bertha born 1901 - after census taken? (although notes I have that are not proven) their marriage 1898 and a George Wm Burgess born Sept 1899 - died 0 years 1899. Almost definitely one of 'our lot'
Hope it's helpful.

My maternal grandmother lived at 12 Clee View Highley. Her name was Ann Burgess and she was a Walton I am fairly sure.

Re: BURGESS of Highley

margnicholls — 2009-11-05 07:49:03Z

Hi Steve,

All my notes on this family come from census or pairing from the free BMD and GRO. Except for Edith, which I have certificates and census. I have a brother, John Thomas Burgess married to Ann Walford in 1902 he may have died 1931.
If you want to compare my scribbles with your notes email me privately. Marg

Re: BURGESS of Highley

SJRoberts65 — 2009-11-04 15:06:49Z

Sarah J Gough was a sister to Eliza Burgess, Bertha was born in the June qtr of 1901. I did not know about the George William in 1899, I just do not seem to be able to locate them after this, I have searched the local burials and even looked round the grave yard.
I am also trying to fit in a Mrs Ann Burgess who lived at 12 Clee View Highley in 1936

Re: Evans family of Oswestry

scorerhome — 2009-11-03 15:08:43Z

Thanks for your reply. I did send for details of what appeared to be the correct marriage, but on further investigation though both were on the same page, they actually married other people, so sadly I still haven't been able to track the marriage down. They travelled around a lot - which doesn't help - selling pottery/ceramics etc. They also appear to move between Shropshire and various locations in Wales, which also confuses matters. As a result I haven't been able to get back that much further. I live in hope though. thanks for your kind thoughts about my mother - time is as ever a great healer.

Best wishes, and thanks.

Re: Louisa HALL born 1834 Shrewsbury, Shropshire

alberta24 — 2009-10-18 16:14:15Z

Don't know when he was an Innkeeper but here goes.
1861 92 New Canal Street,birmingham
Mary ann Hall,married, age 50 born York
Elizabeth hall age 13 daughter born Ipswich
Thomas Henry Weller age 6 months grandson.

Louisa Wheller,widow age 26 b. shrewsbury is a live in servant in Edgbaston.
Peter Hall age 57 married lodger age 57 b. Manchester Architect

When Louisa had married Abel Hare, Thomas is called Wheeler.
There is no record of a Thomas Henry Wheller,Wheller or Wheeler in 1859/1861 Birmingham there is however a Thomas Wheeler no second christian name September 1860
reference 6d 187,if you request certificate and stipulate that mother must be Louisa Hall you will be sure to only get the correct one.

1871 66 Wellington Road,Heaton Norris.Lancs.
Peter Hall age 67 b. Manchester Chimney and /Flue Architect
Mary Ann age 62 b. York
Elizabeth age 23 b. Ipswich
Emma Crocknall age 22 grandaughter born London
George Copping age 17 grandson born Folkstone

parents Peter and Mary Ann.

Re: Louisa HALL born 1834 Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Sorry omitted to say Peter was lodger in Bedford.

Re: Louisa HALL born 1834 Shrewsbury, Shropshire

alberta24 — 2009-10-19 07:08:03Z

How strange,both the fathers are said to be Innkeepers and Peter was an Architect and when I found Jonas on the census he was a Farmer.
I have done a thorough search of UK records and there is no marriage of a Wheller/Weller/Wheeler to Louisa Hall from 1851/61 and no death that would fit in of Wheller/Weller from 1959/1861,quite a mystery.

Re: Pains Lane

heather15329 — 2009-10-20 13:05:57Z

Think it was also called Paves Lane. Can give you more information after I have been into work tomorrow as I remember seeing a book with more details. Anyway in my tree it is associated with Wrockwardine/Wrockwardine Wood

This is a picture of my Grandfather and Grandmother taken I would guess about 1910. My father George is front left, and his brother William is next to him. You will note my grandmother is pregnant.

Re: BURGESS of Highley

burgess0071 — 2009-10-14 11:18:39Z

Marg,
I mistakenly said my Grandfathers name was George. It was John Thomas Burgess. They lived in the New England miners Cottages until about 1917 at which time they moved to Clee View in Highley.
They were a large family. My father was born in 1905 and was the oldest son. Could your Grandfather have been a brother of my Grandfather?

Help with a Mary WEAVER c1800 (a brick wall), Bishop's Castle Shropshire

david0647 — 2009-10-16 20:16:20Z

Any help on this Brick wall most welcome.

All I know for fact is that my 2GGGFather a Richard Weaver was born illigitimate to a Mary Weaver in 1820 at Bishop's Castle Shropshire. I found Mary on the 1841 Census living in Bishop's Castle Shropshire with her 3 children Hannah, Emma and Lewis all illigitimate.

I can't find any information to link her to a birth, all I can guess is she was born between C1802 and 1806, from 1841 census age 35. I can't find her on the 1851 census, found all the children, and have found a death certificate for a Mary weaver dated Feb 1845 in Bishop's Castle but it has no information on the address and the person present was the Dr and no one else. Age given 46 making 1799 her birth year. It does seem that the the death certificate is her... as I can't find a marriage for her. I did find Poor law documents for Hannah and Emma in Bishop's Castle.

What I want to find is her mother and father etc but I am stumped. As I said any help or pointers would be great
Thanks David

hello all,I have just found one of my ancestors on the 1851 census,and it says place of birth "Pains Lane,Shropshire".I'm not a Shropshire wench,so I haven't a clue!!
Where is Pains Lane?I have had a look on the internet and I have three or four areas just to confuse me,I thoughtI should ask on this board - is there a chance there would be more than one?

Thanks for looking!
